This site exists to prove, by using the scriptures, that tongues-speaking and all other prophetic revelation is for the church today.

In this site nine popular cessationist arguments are refuted. The cessationist arguments that are refuted in this site are as follows:
1) "We do not hear much about tongues and prophecies after 1 Corinthians was written; therefore tongues and prophecies were diminishing in importance and disappearing even while the Bible was still being written." (This charge is answered in the "1 Cor buttons at left)
2)"Tongues are the least of the gifts."
3) "Tongues-speaking is immature; we are to grow out of it, and grow into love instead."
4) "Tongues were only for a sign of judgement against Israel"
5) "Tongues-speaking was always in known languages--not the gibberish you hear in Pentecostal churches today."
6) 1 Corinthians 13 teaches that tongues have already ceased.""
7) There is no reason for 'multiple fillings' of the Holy Spirit."
8"There is no such thing as the 'Holy Spirit baptism."
9) "Prophecy can either be foretelling, or forthtelling."
It is recommended that the reader first browse through the first eight buttons on the left (that refutes the notion that tongues died out "after 1 Cor." was written), because in them, is information that pertains to the other sections as well.
